Lmao the capital H was mad random but anyways.Well you said it yourself, you're a Hip Hop head (Hip Hop is spelled with capital H) and well versed in 80s Hip Hop.
But there's a lot of people that are your age that are casual listeners that know Jay Z, DMX, 50 Cent, and Lil Wayne but they've never dug beneath the surface and listened to Criminal Minded, Paid In Full, It Takes A Nation of Millions, etc.
Also like you said, having listened to KRS One/BDP in the context of when it was released, watching Yo! MTV Raps when they used to play the My Philosophy video every day, the You Must Learn video every day, the Self Destruction video every day. Back when KRS appeared on Arsenio Hall several times, when KRS was on the cover of the Source a handful of times. If you don't remember those days and came of age in the 2000s, you might think of KRS the same way my generation thinks of Grandmaster Caz and Kool Moe Dee; Old school MCs that were basically washed up by the time I really got into music.
KRS One doesnt even have 20 hits that people know to do a verzuz. Its gunna be like Nelly when he played shit he only knew.
One day we're gonna have an honest convo about KRS-1. I don't think we're quite there yet though.
Speak on itI know what really happened regarding the Shante/Bridge Is Over situation, but ya'll ain't ready to hear ir.
Speak on it
I can only think of a few groups that are similar to New Edition
Full Force
Troop
Today
Tony Tone Toni
New Kids On The block
And none of those groups would last 5 songs with New Edition
1. KRS dissed the Juice Crew
2. He dissed Mr Magic
3. He dissed Marley Marl
4. He dissed MC Shan
5. He said Manhattan keeps on making it
6. He said Brooklyn keeps on taking it
7. He said Bronx keeps creating it
8. He said Queens keeps on faking it
9. He said Roxanne Shante is only good for steady fucking
10. That 12" got shipped to Europe
11. That 12" got shipped to Japan
12. That record got shipped to Australia
13. The problem was he had never fucked her (and the Masons didn't like that)
